Thanks for reporting this! Afaik, Florian already has a (rather untested) patch available in Git. I'll look into that and prepare an updated package (targeting Squeeze [through unstable]). Since segfaults in any plug-in will bring down the whole daemon process, this a) makes the plugin rather unusable and b) could cause data loss when having caching enabled in the "rrdtool" plugin. Thus, I've raised the severity to "serious". (It's perfectly fine, though, that you've used "normal" -- it's the maintainers job to change the severity if necessary ;-)) Cheers, Sebastian -- Sebastian "tokkee" Harl +++ GnuPG-ID: 0x8501C7FC +++ http://tokkee.org/ Those who would give up Essential Liberty to purchase a little Temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety. -- Benjamin Franklin
